Discussion regarding the entirety of the franchise in a general (meta) sense, including such aspects as: production, trends, merchandise, fan culture, and more.

Yeah, this isn't the way I figured the story would wrap up. Cheap shots EVERYWHERE.
At least Freeza *may* not be dead. I'll be so happy if he's still alive somehow Freeza is my favorite villain, and I want him to be fought without being taken out by a cheap timeskip kamehameha. I've got my fingers crossed for him to return...
This would be interesting and i'm wondering if anyone can confirm this ending with frieza's pod being empty in the end. One can only wonder...
If Frieza somehow survived... Muahahaha Then he WASNT beaten by Goku for a second time. That would be enough to cool my jets, but we'll just have to wait and see what really happened. Ugh, more waiting.

He was defeated, but not died, just like in the first time.

So you're saying that he only had sex with Chichi to conceive their two children? Maybe he was forced by Chichi? I can't see something like that
I'm pretty sure ChiChi definitely had to initiate things at first. There's no way to know if those were the only times. BTW, I'm not saying she forced him. She would just get things started.

That's anime filler. In anycase... that's a show of affection, he does CARE about her. All sex things are simply not a big deal for him. Going around naked... seeing naked women on magazines *shrugs*. He even offers up Videl (his son's own girlfriend) and Bulma to Old Kai, just because he might get some help in return. He doesn't see anything wrong with that.
Holding hands is just a normal thing... he doesn't see what's the fuss all about.

Check out Journey's End, a short story of Goku and Vegeta's final days. "Time is running out for the last two Saiyans"
So, Freeza canon score:
3 losses (Defeated twice by Goku and killed by Future Trunks)
2 wins (killed Vegeta on Namek and now killed everyone and blew up Earth)
Vegeta should have been the one to travel in time and give the final blow. Bad move, Tori.

A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.
Favourite old DB Animators: Masaki Sato and Tadayoshi Yamamuro
Favourite new DB Animators: Yuya Takahashi and Chikashi Kubota
Oh god, people, please don't use Google translate to make wild speculations. Kei's tweet was about the font in the ending credits looking lame.
Oh, that's disappointing.
What disappointing? The fact the font in the ending credits looked lame? That's a nitpick if I've ever heard one.

I still haven’t lived down going, “Who the heck is Tao Pai-pai?” that one time I was talking with Ei’ichiro Oda-kun. But the fact that there are still people reading the series after all this time… All I can say is; “thank you.” Really, that’s all.

And that you also have IMMENSELY skewed and comically backwards priorities in what you think is most important and needed to make a good Dragon Ball story.

Yup, I find lame fonts particularly off-putting and now I don't want to see this movie and consider it non-canon garbage by lazy Toriyama and his obsession with crap fonts
Seriously though it's because GMGoken Google translated one of Kei's twitter posts and it talked about ending credits, so I naturally assumed it was the after credits scene hinted at and we all started speculating wildly, but it was just Kei talking about a font...
MagicBox, go watch Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso! It's definitely something you would like!

It's like if I saw the new Avengers and everyone was asking about who dies, how is Ultron defeated and what's the after credits scene then I told you who the stunt double was for Scarlet Witch.
Inada Tetsu and Hanae Natsuki are actually people know, as opposed to the stunt double for Elizabeth Olsen in Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Anyway, with Hanae voicing Jako I am definitely looking forward to the character and any other spin-off he gets. Giving him a TV series would be wonderful, especially if Sakura Ayane voices Tights!

Many people take rumors for real it's confusing to try and get your information from this topic, best to wait for Kanzenshuu summary.

Everyone should go watch that show. It's incredible.
I would so watch a Jaco anime with Hanae voicing him.
I think it's probably the best thing I've learnt today next to learning that animation is supposedly an improvement over Battle of Gods.

Well, I think that Goku after a while began to enjoy sex and Goten wasn't something planned at all
That's anime filler. In anycase... that's a show of affection, he does CARE about her. All sex things are simply not a big deal for him. Going around naked... seeing naked women on magazines *shrugs*. He even offers up Videl (his son's own girlfriend) and Bulma to Old Kai, just because he might get some help in return.

Seeing by that point it could be, but... It's hard to me to figure Goku's portrayal as a jerk when we talk about love and family affection. I thought before that he only offered Bulma to the Elder Kaioshin because he didn't want to offer Chichi and about Videl and Gohan, they were not even dating so in Goku's mind wasn't something serious between them
Are we too old to enjoy new Dragon Ball movies/series?

Guys, I'm going to be straight with you. If you feel the show has gotten 'silly' ... it hasn't. You're just 'too old for this shit'. Seriously, 95% of the people in those boards do not fit the target demographic of the show, so don't expect the show to be 'everything you hoped for'. I'm referring to the people here who expect Super to be rich with dark moments, serious storytelling, meaningful characters etc etc. It won't. It's a show for kids. A show for kids being kids. Everyone in those boards has a manchild in him/her, clamoring to get out, and that's fine. But having unrealistic expectations (such as believing the show grew up alongside you) is naïve at best. Honestly, do you take seriously a story where the supposed God of Destruction halts his urges to blow up stuff in order to eat ice cream sundae? That's the show's silliness at full force, take it for what it is. The show hasn't matured one bit, so don't expect it too. Again, I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I'm saying *that* is DB and always will be.
Freeza is my favorite villain, and I want him to be fought without being taken out by a cheap timeskip kamehameha. I've got my fingers crossed for him to return...
Then he WASNT beaten by Goku for a second time. That would be enough to cool my jets, but we'll just have to wait and see what really happened. Ugh, more waiting.

Sounds about right

Its better wait for the summary.
